Pascale-col Got. 33., 39160 corresponding in WidlJll to the bell; fabric but substantially hallf the thickness thereof;

This result 1s procluccol by cbangmg; the size of the. filling threads at "she point where is desired to begin to reduce the thickness of the fabric, from the ordinary filling thread 4; to a much smaller filling thread 5, the Warp threads 6 remaining the some. The special filling threads 5 are so chosen in size with reference to the size of the. filling threeils 4:, that "she fasteningeilds 3 will be subszantiolly half the thickness of the main body of the belt-fabric Then when the fasteningenzls 3 are overloicl upon each. other, he two ends will together form a thickness subsztzmtially equal to the thickness of the main body of. the belt. Preferably the fostening'cncls 3 will be secured together by an adhesive, but they may be stitched, if clesirecl, the mocle of fastening them together being no pent of my present invenfiios.
